Wired isn’t a shopping site?
There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.
I will just say that:
$3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.
It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.
People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.
I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.
There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.
Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.
I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.
Maybe one day…
For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.
Are you in the US? Are you insured? You need to find another therapist. Since the pandemic, many insurance companies have improved services in this area. For example, mine eliminated copays and doubled the number of allowed visits. They also brought on a bunch of additional therapists.
Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.
That’s great. It is all about Stacy’s mom, though. I hear she has it going on! 🎵
Using the activity for anything more than entertainment is folly.
Only 60% of companies I work for use GitHub. Some of us create new users that are only for our employers.
Yet companies still use it for hiring purposes.
I haven’t seen the alien.top stuff yet, but I had a friend that was working on a reddit bridge project that implements api over html for old reddit and new reddit. The idea was that you could target the api and make the client compatible with both reddit and lemmy. (The API is similar to Lemmy’s)
I got to play with it before he shelved it, and it worked great.
This seems like a better approach than the one they are trying to take.
Lemmy also needs a mechanism for linking your reddit user id (and twitter, and…) with your active lemmy id so users can find each other easier. I am surprised we don’t already have this with mastodon. Twiiter oauth is (used to be? I haven’t touched it in a couple years ) like a 5 minute thing to implement. Reddit apparently also supports oauth.
If you can sign into lemmy via a reddit login path, you could also do some other fun/interesting stuff.
Regardless, I don’t really see a need for any of it.
Lemmy has its own set of issues to deal with.
no underscores either? What are we, apes?
Singular table names? You savage…
Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”
I would say get a hotel room, but it has uh, been 6 hours since you posted this so…
Yes. 2 decades ago I met someone I wasn’t attracted to physically, and we had no common interests at all. However she was quite independent and just a smidge dominant and she had one goal: she wanted to sleep with me. That alone lead us down a brief fling which ended with a one night stand. The night was sleepless and enjoyable, but we split up after.
I don’t regret it.
I still occasionally talk to her (as a friend).
I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.
I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.
Web extensions are extremely limited by Apple. That is why we don’t have uBlock origin. A PWA alone would not get the job done. This isn’t talking to an API. You would have to parse out the HTML and reformat it, intercepting links, etc. View the source of new reddit and you will see what I mean.
You also can’t design around old reddit because they are killing that next.
Likely not possible on iOS. Apple has too many restrictions. It works with lemmy because lemmy has a free API and doesn’t attempt to obscure it’s code. New reddit employs a ton of stuff to try and stop these types of efforts. Apple has a ton of restrictions surrounding code execution and browsers (all browsers have to use safari’s engine). That being said, I am not an iOS developer (outside of cross platform tooling), so it might be possible, but from what little I know of Apple’s policies, not likely.
That being said, I am thinking about the idea of a reddit proxy addon for lemmy, something that would expose r/* communities to lemmy via an API. This would primarily be of use for developers, but could potentially allow r/* communities to exist alongside lemmy communities, with the caveat that reddit users would not see comments. The proxy would actually scrape reddit for posts/comments, cache them in redis, and offer the cache up via a restful API, so it wouldn’t be realtime, but it would be a starting point.
(OP implied it was for some reason)
